Meet the breeder
I'm Lisa K., the breeder behind Kicking Bear located in Wildomar, CA. I offer top-quality Rat Terrier puppies with a focus on health, form, and function. I believe quality is more important than quantity. My goal is to produce a great representation of the Rat Terrier and to continue improving the line with each generation. My priority is to ensure the health and well-being of all my dogs from birth until they leave with their forever family and beyond.
Q. & A. with Lisa
Why did you start breeding?
My love for Rat Terriers inspired me to share this amazing breed with the world in a responsible way. It has been an absolute joy of a journey, and I am so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs with other loving families and individuals.What makes your program special?
I strive to breed healthy, quality pups that can fit any lifestyle. I am very conscious about who I rehome my puppies to and always ensure that each one goes to the best home possible complementary to its personality and ability. My dogs and puppies are part of my family, and they get the best care that I can possibly provide.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Excellent level
Kicking Bear reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Rat Terriers.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
Legg-Calve-Perthes (OFA)
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
Primary Lens Luxation (PLL)
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
